The XSL upgrade failed because of what looks like a problem within twisted.

I tried the following:

* from a virgin hardy chroot (which has python-poker-network 1.2.0)
* apt-get install python-poker-network
* edit /etc/apt/source.list to s/hardy/lucid/
* apt-get update
* apt-get dist-upgrade

and got exactly the same message.

The failing instruction is:

# regenerate twisted plugins cache as advised on:
# http://twistedmatrix.com/projects/core/documentation/howto/plugin.html#auto3
python -c 'from twisted.plugin import IPlugin, getPlugins;list(getPlugins(IPlugin));'

from /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-poker-network.postinst

It really is a twisted bug and has been reported as such at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/twisted/+bug/631486
